There are several American editions of Smith’s Dictionary of the Bible, but this is 
the only edition which comprises the contents of the original English edition, un¬ 
abridged, with very considerable and important additions by Professors Hackett and 
Abbot, and twenty-six other eminent American scholars. 
No similar work in our own or in any other language is for a moment to be compared with it. — 
Quarterly Review (Loudon). 
There cannot be two opinions about the merits of Smith’s Bible Dictionary. What was, to begin 
with, the best book of its kind in our language, is now still better.”— Pro/: Roswell D. Hitchcock. 
In paper, prcsswork, cuts, maps, etc., we do not see anything to choose between this and the more 
costly English original; while in a multitude of other respects which affect the trustwortliiness, 
thoroughness, and supi’eme excellence of the work as a thesaurus of Biblical knowledge, this is vastly 
to be preferred.— Congregational Review (Boston). 
• No other edition of Smithes Sible Dictionary is nearly as full, complete, or accurate as this, 
which was edited by Prof. M. U. Machett, D. D., and Drof. Ezra Abbot.

Fresh, vigorous, and outspoken, Mr. Cook’s highly seasoned lectures on Orthodoxy may be recommended 
as a wholesome stimulant to readers whose jaded literary appetites require a fillip. Mr. Cook is a consum¬ 
mate master of the art of arousing and arresting the attention and interest of a popular assembly. He is never 
e=»her dull or prosy. It must be admitted that he has shown that evangelical theology, when stripped of the 
exaggerations of language, in which it has too frequently been expressed, and of the crude and fanatical 
ideals of its more ignorant and illiterate professors, and enunciated in well-considered and definite terms, has 
really a good deal to say for itself. — The Scotsman (Edinburgh), October 17, 1878. 
His lectures give evidence of a thorough grasp of his many-sided subject. His residence in Germany has 
hapnilv emancipated him from the narrowness and insularity so characteristic of much English thought. His 
acquaintance with general literature enables him to relieve the severity of his argument with many an apt 
quotation and illustration, whilst his* strong, watchful interest in current political events and pracBcal life 
imparts a freshness and vividness to his pages which adds greatly to their charm. It would be difliCHlt to 
mention any writer on this side whose discussion., of these great questions will so well repay perusal. — Gfos- 
gpw Herald. 
Full of keen criticism, relentless logic, and withering sarcasm, the citadel as well as the outworks of seien- 
tific materialism is here riddled through and through with burnmg shot. — .Siaord and Trowel (Mr. Spur¬ 
geon’s), November, 1878.
